For Boro, it has been a complete contrast. 2026 has seen them rise to the top of the form table, with six consecutive wins lifting them to the summit of the division.
Tonight, Coventry will look to end that barren run as they face their promotion rivals Middlesbrough at the CBS Arena. Here’s how you can watch for free from anywhere in the world.

Yes, ITV have chosen this as one of their select free-to-air games for the season and it will shown on the ITV4 channel.
Watch Coventry vs Middlesbrough from anywhere
What if you're away from home when Coventry vs Middlesbrough is on, and find access to your usual streaming service geo-blocked? The solution is a VPN, a piece of software that sets your devices to appear to be in any country in the world.
Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you're subscribed to, with a host of privacy and protection benefits on top – that sounds like a result.
FourFourTwo’s colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.

Prediction
Coventry City 2-3 Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough arrive as the team in form and will take the win, but goals should be aplenty, with both teams scoring in six of Coventry's last seven league games.
